Description

This quaint chalet estate is located, as the name suggests, in the south of Mahé, just a 15 minute walk from Anse Takamaka beach. This particular beach is well-known for its mix of crystal-clear and deep blue water, surrounded by lush greenery and white sand dunes. An excellent restaurant and various shops can also be found near to the South Point Chalets.

Facts:

Location:

A short walk away from Anse Takamaka beach.

Grounds:

Tasteful chalets with 6 units in different categories.

Pool:

5.4 x 3.2 m in size and 1.7 m in depth.

Catering:

Self-catering, breakfast, lunch and evening meal available on request.

Description:

Imagine sitting in a comfortable sun lounger by the pool, a freshly-pressed juice in one hand, made using locally-sourced fruit; a cooling breeze blows towards the ocean and the tropical flowers; a colourful garden surrounds you, highlighting this small corner of paradise. All of this and more can be yours at the South Point Chalets. Not far from Anse Takamaka beach, the accommodation offers a wonderful panorama, an excellent garden estate with a communal pool, pavilion to relax, and the possibility to go walking or hiking in the surrounding area.

You just have to choose where you want to stay: the Family Villa, the One-Bedroom Villa, or perhaps the small but sweet Apartment? Regardless of which category you choose, you can be sure of excellent living conditions. All units come with ceiling fans and an air-conditioned bedroom, as well as a bathroom (the family villa has three bedrooms and two bathrooms), a fully-equipped kitchen, and their own balcony or veranda, from which you can enjoy views of the green of the garden. The lounge area has everything that you might expect, with a TV with integrated radio, allowing you to make yourself comfortable inside. Each category also offers space for further guests. The chalets will astound you with their mix of elegance, simplicity, and typical Creole colours. Make yourself at home and let the charm of the South Point Chalets wash over you! The Family Villa is ideal for families or a holiday with friends; the One-Bedroom Villa and the Apartment are best suited for a romantic holiday as a couple.

Just a few minutes’ walk separate the accommodation from a restaurant, a bus stop, a souvenir shop, and the beautiful Anse Takamaka beach. Further beautiful beaches in the south of the island, such as Anse Intendance or Anse Royale, can all be reached quickly as well. The surroundings here are ideal for snorkelling and diving, while activities such as fishing and hiking allow you to enjoy the Seychelles' beautiful, peaceful nature. Finally, the airport on Mahé is around 15 km away (just under 10 miles) and Victoria is 25 km away (just over 15 miles). There is a bus stop close to the hotel.

Activities and specials:

A beautiful, tropical garden with pavilion right by the pool ensures you have the perfect place to enjoy a drink and fresh fruit outside.

The surroundings contain shops and a typical Creole restaurant.

The picture-perfect beach of Anse Takamaka is just a few minutes’ walk away; here, you can enjoy bathing, snorkelling, or other watersports if you wish.

Le Reduit is a real insiders' tip and is largely frequented by locals. This small, family-run restaurant is surrounded by lush greenery, and offers delicious Creole cuisine to its guests, including flying fox and fresh crab, served in coconut milk; really a must-try for any Seychelles holidaymaker!

The story goes that in 1984, Jean-Baptiste Horter had a dream to open a beach restaurant, something he achieved when he set up the Chez Batista. Over the years, this restaurant has become one of the best-known in the Seychelles, and offers a great selection of fish and other seafood creations. All in all, it's an absolute must-do for anyone staying on Mahé!

This thai restaurant is a feast for the senses; exotic cuisine, a top-class atmosphere thanks to the layout of the restaurant, and incredible smells thanks to the Asian herbs and spices. The dress-code is smart casual, so shorts or shirts without collars should be avoided.

The wonderful restaurant of the Banyan Tree resort is located in the stunning bay of Anse Intendance on Mahé, and serves its guests a mixture of traditional Creole cuisine and Mediterranean or African dishes. From the terrace, guests can enjoy a stunning view of the turquoise ocean.

A visit to the Cap Lazare is, for many Seychelles holidaymakers, a real must-do. Through a combination of traditional elements such as bamboo, palm leaves, and granite formations, the luxurious interior of this restaurant makes it a real experience for anyone.

This is a good place to meet locals, who often come here to meet up with friends and family in the middle of the day or in the evening, often to enjoy a meal or an evening drink together. The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly, and the food is traditional and fresh. This is really a good place to see the authentic Seychellois lifestyle first-hand.

Rooms

You can choose between three different categories at the South Point Chalets: the Family Villa, One-Bedroom Villa, and the Apartment. All three are comfortable and charmingly-arranged, and offer a small balcony or a more spacious veranda with beautiful garden views.

We were lucky as when we arrived our 1 Bed Villa had been overbooked - so we were given a 3 Bed House instead. This was in a lovely quiet location on the property with a big covered terrace to sit on in the evenings. This house was of a 2.5/3 star standard - it was cleaned every day by the wonderful Pascalina who gave us Fresh Towels when we needed them & Beach Towels were provided which really helped on the packing. With a little bit of effort and upgrading of some of the facilities the Ratings of this property could be improved. Windows that didn't shut meant that all sorts of creatures could get in - so be warned - but don't let this put you off. South Point Chalets is set inland with the morning crowing of the local Cockerel and the evening barking (and visits) of local Dogs - but this, together with the Restaurant opposite (who's food was excellent and worth visiting) which doubled as the Sunday Church - made for a very atmospheric stay. The location is perfect for exploring being situated in the South of the Island within a few minute drive to both the West and East Coasts and some of the best Beaches. The Manager Ronelle was not there so much but to be honest Pascalina answered any queries that we had. As I mentioned the Seychelles is expensive to eat out and on our first night we ate at the property - for €50 for 2 for the fish we later learnt to only cost €3 seemed extortionate - but it was nice to know that we would arrive to food on our first night and not have to fend for ourselves until we had got our bearings.
All in All I would recommend staying at South Point Chalets - we stayed for 8 nights in February and the rate definitely helped us to keep the costs of our trip down.

very clean beautifully landscaped area, a bit out of the jungle slope. Good for self-catering. Very nice staff.Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate

★★☆☆☆ Saskia Yvonne01.10.2018

Unfortunately, we can not recommend the apartment complex South Point Chalets. It is located very far from the main road and without a rental car you are rather stuck here. When we arrived the complex was totally deserted, the front desk unmanned and no other guests on site, all rooms were open. When we finally got our apartment there was a temperature of about 40 degrees and even after switching on the air conditioning, which did not work properly, it did not get better. The apartments are not used to, what breaks is either not at all or only makeshift repaired. The fridge was totally glued and there were hair inside. You only get fresh towels every 4 days, which is not very nice when staying with typical beach tourists who come into contact with sand a lot. Wi-Fi is there for a fee and not even a telephone in the room, so you are for booking trips or the online check-in for the return flight completely fix. There is no hospitality from the hostess, who has not even introduced us and greeted us and talked to us only through a begittertes window. The reception was never occupied during our stay and the hosts almost never at home. The cleaning of the rooms left a lot to be desired, as the evening return still sand and hair in shower and sink were. The bathing in the existing pool is also not recommended, since this obviously is not cleaned and the dirty water is discharged from the roof.Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate

The complex is beautifully quiet in the middle of the jungle. We enjoyed the peace. Unfortunately, the house and especially the kitchen utensils were not really clean! The specified Wifi was not available! The reception was never occupied. Our house was in a bad condition. The furniture was very closed and many things were broken. The pool especially pleased our children very well.Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate

★★★★☆ Gerhard Herbert Eckhard01.06.2018

The villa with 2 balconies was very large, clean and well equipped. From the balcony you had a great view over the jungle, since we lived on the hillside in the mountains. From one place you could also see the Anse Takamaka. A wonderful beach. The paths, whether on foot or by bus, we had to explore ourselves, as the owner was only after 5 days to reach. She was very nice, unfortunately only came to the end of our stay. The location was a bit lonely, but the more animals like flying dogs, colorful birds, goats, chickens ... we could watch from the balcony. The way to the beach and back was in 20 - 25 minutes each way to reach on foot, but a bit sweaty because mountainous.Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate

★★☆☆☆ Andrea20.11.2017

This accommodation unfortunately did not meet the expectations aroused by the description. If I book a villa with garden view, then I do not expect an apartment (an immediately adjacent unit and including the carport) with a view of mainly green tin roofs and the driveway (we had villa 3). And I also do not want to have my veranda next to the house water pump, which is busy at exactly the time when you're sitting outside, constantly whirring and buzzing. In general, I had the impression of rather loveless / uninterested: our arrival apparently very inappropriate (landlady was just about to drive away), no training in the accommodation (safe, light switch - where for what, ..), not a single actively offered info (what there is where, which is recommended), opening times of the reception not apparent, not regularly, therefore unusable (there also no information rest). Facilities contained a hair dryer only on request, no microwave, no clothes horse (so where with the wet things?). Most kitchen appliances and the hair dryer with European plugs without adapters (so would have needed at least three world plug). Ants in the box, naked bulbs as a bathroom lighting, barely a window latch, which still worked smoothly, nails as a lock, .... in the end the porch light fell out (it was always just a lamp in there anyway and then went broke), ... So generally the impression that everything was set up well, but where it is now broken, something to renovate, there is no interest. So at least the "Villa 3" I can not reconcile with the description - either change or not offer would be my recommendation. The specified travel times are also not true. I needed to the next supermarket 30 minutes and the beach is at least 20, which at least not with my expectation of a few minutes (that is not so without the heat and the slope!). And also worth mentioning in the description would be the fact that the complex is located in the middle of a rather rural residential area (and valley), where you can experience all aspects of daily life skin and especially close to the ears (from 2:00 daily all cocks the place, countless dogs at any time of day or night, various festivals with music on weekends, various devotions with music and loud sermons on Sunday for at least 3 hours)Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate
